Benefiting from a hint from an article titled "Is Harry Potter Making You Poorer?", written by my colleague Dr. John Goodman, president of the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis, I've come up with an explanation and a way to end income inequality in America, possibly around the world.

Intelligent commentary from the brilliant Walter Williams.

I really like the last paragraph.
I'd like to end this discussion with a bit of a personal note. The readers of this column know that I never make charges of racism. Rowling is an author, and so am I. In my opinion, my recently published book "Race and Economics: How Much Can Be Blamed on Discrimination?" is far more important to society than any "Harry Potter" novel. I'd like to know what it is about me that explains why millions upon millions have not purchased my book and made me a billionaire author. Maybe Krugman and the Wall Street occupiers have the answer.
Unfortunately, Mr. William's biting sarcasm is going to be lost on Krugman and the Occu-tards.

So long as there is an inequality of talent and work ethic, there will be inequality of income.

Indeed. And according to the left that’s “discriminatory” and needs to be “corrected” by the government.
Cool tag, BTW.
